WELCOME!
I'm an Astrophysicist at the
Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics (CfA).
SCIENCE EDUCATION ,
including my 2002 book on
Peer
Instruction For Astronomy (a teacher's guide for introductory
undergraduate astronomy). See some popular science articles too.
Sensing the Dynamic Universe ,
website is designed to showcase the amazing variety of astronomical
variables, from pulsating stars to supernovae to quasars, using
sonification of light curves and spectra to make "time domain
astrophysics" accessible to the blind and visually impaired.
The Chandra X-ray Observatory
where I work in the Director's Office. And a
video
where I philosophize about the Universe, Chandra and my job!
HOBBIES especially playing
bass with
The Wicked
Pickers .
Before that,
J.P. Tropicale with Cornell Coley.
The is from
Hubble, showing
a distant cluster of (mostly red) galaxies acting as a gravitational
lens, producing the optical illusion of 4 (blue) images of the same
background quasar.
